It should be about 8M total of additional data to copy, amounting to a few
seconds of additional installation time.  The additional components are:

 * OpenOffice.org Base (database application)
 * Legacy filters
 * AportisDoc/PocketWord/PocketExcel filters
 * The OpenOffice.org Bean (Java embedding)
 * The LaTeX export filter

Base is the most significant bit of this.  It's a whole application which we
don't ship on the CD for space reasons.

This recently came up on ubuntu-devel-discuss where a user was wondering
where the rest of OO.o was.
